ROLAND TEC brings decades of experience as a composer, scriptwriter, director and producer of theater and film at budgets ranging from micro to multi-million-dollar to all his online teaching. He encourages students in workshop to examine their work from all perspectives—from the wildly imaginative heart of their ambition to the tiniest practical detail of their business plan. During his tenure as Director of Membership for the Dramatists Guild (2008-16) he spearheaded several member workshops including Art of the Synopsis, Self-Production Boot Camp and Music Essentials. He has taught at Hollins University, Brandeis University and Harvard College. In 2020, Tec founded the Hear Me Out Monologue Competition to encourage more writers to explore monologue as a Zoom-proof form of theater.
